(WO) – Sinopec Geophysical Corp. (SGC) has ordered 80,000 additional WiNG analog land seismic nodes from Viridien’s Sensing & Monitoring business, which sells under the Sercel brand. The order adds to SGC’s existing Sercel nodal fleet.
The nodes will be used on major oil and gas exploration programs in China, mainly in a region with mountainous terrain, dense urban areas and extensive infrastructure that make seismic acquisition especially difficult. With the expanded fleet, SGC will be able to field crews of more than 100,000 channels on some of the country’s largest exploration programs. The WiNG nodes are paired with Sercel’s Pathfinder technology for fleet management and real-time visibility of field operations.
“This significant fleet expansion is a strong endorsement of Sercel’s technology and the long-standing partnership we have built with SGC,” said Jérôme Denigot, head of Sensing & Monitoring at Viridien. “We are proud to support SGC as it undertakes some of China’s most ambitious exploration programs.”
